Same here, but I never had my bike stolen (it really looks shitty) and it’s locked away most of the time.
Still, the bike lock has one of the keys I use the most and I think it could be replaced relatively easy.

So I do have a solution for you, kinda…
but it is not compatiable with the NExT unfortunately.
It works with the original Spark that are no longer available, but also the xSLX which is available in the DT store.

I thought an RFID bike lock would be awesome since I use my bike daily for work but being in a city well known for bike thieves … I don’t think the money spent on many RFID locks is gonna be worth it when they pull out an angle grinder so personally it’s one key I don’t mind carrying.

Sorta kinda depends on your definition of BackUp
The closest, would be a USB port to recharge the battery that they state lasts for 2 years.
It has Bluetooth as a backup to RFID and Vise-Versa
So if the electronics fail there is no mechanical back up, ie. a keyway
BUT
looking at the breakdown,

I’ve recently purchased the Ultimate Bundle:
However, I don’t think I’ll be implanting my Spark anytime soon so I wanted to put it up for sale.
Is this even allowed on this forum?
Of course it comes in the original packaging, it has never been opened.
Shipping worldwide.

Hopefully Amal sees this post.
Might be worth also using help button on DT store…

I can only speak to the egeetouch anecdotally, But the earlier ones at least worked with the xNT and the FlexNT, I’m not sure if they have kept the same protocol.
or even whether it is looking for NTAG216 or ISO14443A, if it’s the latter, then you will have a lot more implants to choose from.

Backpackingvet:

why you would have to punch in 4 numbers into the app to make it work.

??? 2FA ??? unless that is just an alternative unlock method?

The QuickLock you will need either a Spark original or xSLX. BUT you could also grab a QuickLock door lock at some stage and you have a matching pair

I think it is one of those things, whereby it is easier to decide once you get “hands on”;
Maybe buy both from Amazon and return the one less suited to your needs, THEN furnish and submit here on the forum, a 1000 word essay as to the suitability and pros and cons of each lock for a biohacker, its compatibility and security and all rounded off with a strong conclusion…actually, you might need to make it 2000 words

Yeah, I suppose I can do this. Not like it will make a mark on Bezos account.
